Edward Hopper

(El Palacio)
1946

A watercolor painting depicting a street scene with various buildings in warm tones of orange, pink, and blue. In the foreground, there's a building with a "Ford" dealership sign, and further down the street, a neon sign reads "PALACIO." The background shows a mountainous landscape under a sky with light blue and white streaks. The painting has a rough texture and visible brush strokes, giving it a vibrant, lively feel.
